Emerson Woods holds the borough's wildest corner — oaks, tangled understory, birdsong loud enough to carry to the street — and every lawn nearby is a small clearing kept by hand. Ivy Glove Cleaning Service tends those clearings: mowing on a steady week, running the trimmer down the fence lines, pulling the beds back to clean soil, gathering leaves when the oaks finally decide. The pleasure is in the contrast, a tidy rectangle set against all that green disorder. Spring starts with a cleanup and autumn ends with one, and the middle is simply not letting anything get away. A yard kept this way asks very little of the people who live in it.
